I believe I have
an appointment.
Mr. Goongala?
There should be a test before anything Marvel on Disney+ that really digs into every appearance of every character that's going to show up in whatever you're trying to stream.

Did you watch all three seasons of Netflix Daredevil? How about Hawkeye? But did you see the Ben Affleck Daredevil? How about all the times Kingpin and Hobgoblin pick petty fights with each other like an unhappy married couple in the 90's Spider-Man cartoon? Have you read any comic with Wilson Fisk in it at all? Just the Frank Miller run? No, no. You're going to have to go back to 1967 and start over.

This is why the comics had footnote references to other series. Perhaps they do the VH1 pop-ups to add context

It's sort of both, but the official definition is that it is something that requires no previous MCU watching to understand.

This is a little strange considering that Echo is a direct spinoff of Hawkeye.

It's not exactly MCU/TV, but adjacent enough to maybe mention - the Guardians of the Galaxy game is currently free on the Epic Game Store (until the 10th or 11th of January).

It doesn't feature the original MCU likenesses, but after having played through it, I can say they nailed the characters, the cameraderie and their banter.
Some really beautiful/imaginative environments and overall aesthetics and the story also has lots of nice beats and funny scenes.

Worth a look if you need your fix.

Space Llama is infinitely more tolerable the L&T Space Goats.

Game also has three great soundtracks: The orchestral score, 28 licensed tracks of 80's hits and a full album of 80's hair metal by an in-universe band.

I can’t believe they credited Stanley Tucci for one line in the What If…? s2 finale. Or indeed, got him in for it.

Not as weird as when they had Kurt Russell do one line in an episode of Season 1

They probably had him in for a day and got him to do all the S2 stuff too. Maybe Tucci will be in s3 in a bigger role?

EDIT: forgot Tucci was in the first ep of S1 too! :doh:

It's one more sleep until Kingpin time. My one complaint about Hawkeye is they didn't really know how to shoot Fisk, he sort of just strolled into frame. Some of the shots from this mini-promo properly make him look huge and menacing as he did in Daredevil.

Oh, Devery Jacobs (Echo) also did the voice for Kahhori in "What if ..."?
Huh. I had no idea.

But for some, the idea that there are two native american characters in the MCU is apparently just too much :psyboom:

The ultimate team up attack is based on Quill playing a song on his walkman, and its random what song it is. So its hilarious when some big boss fight is happening set to Don't Worry Be Happy.

I really need to replay that, and NOT throw Rocket.

One of my favorite parts is when you're on the derelict Nova Corps ship and you're looking at the computer and going through all the criminal records and Quill goes "For a non space faring race, there are a lot of humans in space".

I read a few comments from someone who has seen it, and they weren't too impressed. Not as much violence as we were led to believe. And there's apparently a LOT of flashbacks to the Hawkeye show.

*Israeli Government-affiliated poster
It's a couple animated shows (the 90's X-Men sequel and an animated Black Panther thing).

The next live action show is supposed to be Agatha, but it doesn't have a firm release date beyond "late 2024."

Daredevil was supposed to follow Echo, but it was pushed back to 2025.
